This Chardonnay was blended from a selection of the best wines from the ultra-ripe harvest.  From the start, our aim was to produce a Chardonnay with intense fruit flavour and real character utilising quality grapes.

All fruit was harvested in the early hours and the juice pressed while the grapes were still cool to help retain aroma and flavour.  The wine was tank fermented with an element of quercus fragmentus which added greater weight and complexity.

The wine shows classic ripe, rich butter and tropical fruit on the nose and soft, well integrated vanilla on the palate.

This wine is a great example of modern-styled South African Chenin Blanc which shows true elegance.  This wine displays upfront guava, pear and pineapple aromas with hints of honey and green apple on the nose.  The palate is vibrant and fresh with a linear acidity and a lingering finish.

Hints of lime and grapefruit flavours are delicately combined with a light green pepper mouth-feel. A zesty after-taste completes the experience. Goes well with salads, raw or steamed shellfish, poultry and Asian cooking.
